The mighty trio elevated to meet the height of their opponents.

Kasai: “I do not wish to bring harm upon those not involved, however, in the name of war, any ally of this criminal is an enemy to us! My comrades, our divine blessing from Amaterazu shall be our key to victory. Embrace this power, it will protect you from all harm, this is the gift of our savior!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAGOsNGXI6FY
Nozomu: “I didn't think we'd need this so soon.c
258Please respect copyright.PENANAC6dpmhecX2
Goku: “What kind of form is that? What other tricks could they have up their sleeve?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjOwE6f0NQ0
Kasai: I've noticed the confusion in your faces, I'll spare all of you the suspense. You're all contributors to the rise of our sun god, Amaterazu. His visions have guided my allies and I to this very moment for over a year now. What you see now is the result of our training inside the very sun itself. An undying flame, that is the gift of Amaterazu that shall lead us to his resurrection. The same gift I'll use to exact my revenge!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA4T6IRZYRlC
Tien: “I can't sense their ki, just how powerful as these guys?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAp9Gqqb42k9
Piccolo: “It's just a guess but it seems like they may possess divine ki. We have to be careful, they're more than capable of killing us if we make even the slightest mistake.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfyAnqmqfBM
Kasai: “My comrades, I feel that it is already quite apparent but, we will have to split up and take a load each. Pouwar, you'll take on the one with the armor, it may not be apparent yet, but the visions are telling me he's one to watch out for, perhaps just as much as the one we faced earlier. Nozomu, you take the rest of the group, I'll handle our main target. As long as you keep the other one busy, Pouwar, Nozomu should be able to take out the weaker ones, leaving them with no support.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVwmJLe70Zc
Pouwar: “Understood, let's get to tearing them apart already!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAT8PUTkG13X
Kasai: “On my mark, my friends.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA54dRDAkzXJ
The trio took a stance, preparing to charge into battle.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMNKnJkvsAj
Vegeta: “Here they come!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0x1BTBvor1
The trio took the lead, dashing to their predetermined enemies and commencing their assault. Pouwar rushed Vegeta, who instantly took on his super saiyan blue evolved form. Pouwar overwhelmed Vegeta with a mighty barrage of blows. Vegeta defended against them all, barely managing to keep up. Each strike left a scar from the heat.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAr4e7pWsrJA
"It's dealing serious damage to me without even landing a clean blow!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQLJdcyop2O
Vegeta thought as he continued his struggle. Nozomu made his move on the other warriors, commencing everything with a strike towards piccolo. Piccolo managed to block the blow just in the nick of time. The force of the punch alone sent him flying back a few feet. His hand suddenly caught fire, bursting into flames like ones he had never seen before. They quickly burned through his arm, even ashes were not left behind. Piccolo immediately tore off what was left of his arm before it reached his body further. He panted as his face viciously dripped with sweat.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAq2lWjMZC0f
Piccolo: “That fire isn't normal, it burns you down to an atomic level, we can't risk getting touched by that!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAcIrqY7BoOE
The proud Namekian grew back his arm and took his distance from the royal elite.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAO1bF3JSM0X
Krillin: “So fighting this guy hand to hand isn't an option then huh. None of us have the power to even seriously injure this guy!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqDDrdYsn6g
Yamcha: “Well, we can't defeat him, but maybe, we can hold him off just enough to give Goku and Vegeta time to deal with their guys.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA6kDoLwoXj5
Krillin: “Is that really all we've been reduced to?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAH4FDRLkRFk
Piccolo: “He's right Krillin, I don't know who or what these guys are, but they're no joke. Simply keeping one away from them is already more than they could ask for. If we want this to work, we have to keep our distance and strike from afar!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhtHdEjJMmQ
Nozomu gave no time for preparation as he engaged with his second attack.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnv34t9YciQ
Nozomu: “Divine dragon bullet!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyMowXHMfpc
Nozomu shot a ray of fire, shaped like a bolt of lightning from his finger tips.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuOq06AxKX7
Tien: “Dodon ray!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwmKsQbwTe5
Tien's precise beam intercepted the attack, saving Piccolo from certain doom.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAF28XCKGFRs
Tien: “It's clear this guy's done playing around, our attack has to begin now!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMt5Mw76Srb
"Right!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANAom4GB0FRhc
The group said in union. They all took separate positions, each isolated as far as possible from Nozomu.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUV7vVucWDP
Nozomu: “So they plan to split? They don't have the speed to keep up with me, even if they attack at different angles, I could strike them all down at once no sweat-”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUTmgI7ZTzK
Nozomu suddenly found himself locked in a hold. Tien had a firm grasp of all of Nozomu's essential joints. Two other of his clones zapped Nozomu with the dodon ray. They focused their beam on him, applying more pressure by the second. Nozomu released flames from his body which immediately disintegrated everything nearby, including the clones who were shooting their attack at him. He would have no time to counter strike as the rest of the warriors had followed up with their own attacks. Nozomu evaded a barrage of destructo disc attacks which was followed by a ki sphere that continuously chased Nozomu regardless of what turn he took.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1o9aVYrGC0
Nozomu: “What is this attack? No matter where I move, it keeps following!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1MR5Nrv7Yk
Yamcha: “Haha! Looks like someone can't handle my spirit ball!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuq3OuH8qLB
Krillin: “You know, you could be a little more creative with those names.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwCFUYGFGop
Yamcha: “Oh yeah? Mister ‘destructo disc?’”
258Please respect copyright.PENANASJTeSCGUc7
Krillin: “Fine, I got the message.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuKsUU98zyI
Nozomu quit his escape and confronted the attack, melting it away with ease. He prepared to return his own attack but was shocked to find himself battling a powerful illusion of countless after image clones of all the fighters.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAehVVcwXOOf
"Damn it! Which are the real ones? These guys are just playing games with me!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANANtGIQkozn6
He thought as he attempted to decipher real from illusion.
258Please respect copyright.PENANATBq1TKyPR9
Nozomu: “They're wasting my time. I get it now, they're buying time for the other two, these bunch are no threats at all, I shall take them out all at once!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgb7V50G46Y
Nozomu spun his arms in a circle, gradually picking up the speed until they resembled miniature tornadoes.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdkG4MOHB2J
Nozomu: “Divine fire hurricane!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAPF9pTSQFhz
A massive tornado of fire was birthed from Nozomu's spinning arms. The after images were all destroyed in an instant, leaving no trace of an illusion.
258Please respect copyright.PENANABl8j5iT3aq
Yamcha: “Damn it! I think he's done entertaining our little gimmick!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbrlQJbh0BH
Nozomu cleared the scenery, leaving his foes completely wide open.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjnbJr1s0Rp
Nozomu: “I've got you all now!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVGPjheCQG6
He darted towards them, approaching at rapid speeds.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAY6SvutWmRK
Krillin: “Tien! Now! Use the moonlight!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8EERQVKvI3
Krillin and Tien immediately lined up together, side by side.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkZd5gkSNJy
"Solar Flare!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzKDPFXj7cs
They shouted together as they created an intense bright light with the help of the moon; the light staggered Nozomu.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA7KkVEgpEPm
Piccolo: “This is it! This is the opening we needed! I'm charged up and ready, all of you fire with me!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAZrKaUzUvxQ
Piccolo appeared once more in the battle field, revealing to have been preparing a powerful charged attack.
258Please respect copyright.PENANApBtAEjcsjO
Piccolo: “Special beam cannon!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjHfFO5SJjM
"Kamehameha!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANALPYuXBO5vf
Yamcha and Krillin shouted together.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqLgrOGnlqW
Tien: “Tri-Beam haaaaa!!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAc21nDENsVU
Their attacks landed together in succession, knocking Nozomu straight to the ground.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbOXHWCrbxu
Yamcha: “We did it!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAN4cTtZZk1b
Piccolo: “Don't get too excited yet, we didn't even dent him. We've simply delayed him from making a move on us, if we continue like this, Goku and Vegeta should be able to finish him for us eventually. At least I'd hope so..”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyAU70wrHYk
Pouwar rose up from a pile of rubble which disintegrated almost immediately. She chuckled as she looked up at Vegeta.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA38bFnbdbXk
Vegeta: “He's still standing after all that. I figured it wouldn't be so easy.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0ShbqhVJ2z
The flames around Pouwar's forearms morphed and merged onto her hands. Her left hand became engulfed in flames shaped like a mallet, the right hand formed into a shield of fire. She charged towards Vegeta once more, swinging her mighty mallet in his direction. Vegeta dodged the attack but was caught by a sudden explosion from the mallet.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAplXH4H1SVd
Vegeta: “What the hell!?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAshNfQV8kvn
Pouwar: “Hehe, surprised ya huh? In this state, our bodies can release hydrogen into the air with each attack. All it takes is a little push from the force I create with every attack. In return I can create a compressed explosion that's just as powerful as my regular blows. Simply put it, you can't escape me, puny man!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAupIVPuBcuM
Vegeta: “It's really starting to annoy me how much I've been shown up by others recently.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAie5DsFzbOz
Pouwar: “Perhaps it's time to accept your inferiority, small fry. For our race, the males are more suited for fighting, but occasionally, a female with twice the battle capacity of a male is born. Being born as one of those exceptions, I was chosen to fight alongside our future king and protect him with my life. I was born special! It is an insult a lowlife like you has pushed me this far!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzflqNpp9Dz
Vegeta: “Wait… You're a woman?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANALdbYUAdRsA
Pouwar: “Shut up!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgdrIk4cREB
Pouwar continued her attack, swinging her mallet multiple times, hitting Vegeta with each explosion. She lifted her mallet, preparing to swing it once more, but her attempt was interrupted by Vegeta who shot a ki blast straight into the mallet. The collision created an explosion that damaged Pouwar.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAFTaItBRzxI
Vegeta: “If all it takes is a little push to set off the explosion, then I can use it against you too. Listen, I don't care who or what you are, but you are fighting no small fry! Before you stands the prince of the saiyans! Speaking down on me is speaking down on my kind, that I shall not allow!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xp4N1A4B0
Vegeta blitzed his way to Pouwar, kicking her gut with tons of force. The blow burned him as well but he continued his assault. He put his hands together and smashed them into her skull, Vegeta wasted no time in following up with yet another attack.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAWtojQTr61S
Vegeta: “Big bang attack!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaudJzPUUML
He dropped the mighty ki sphere on Pouwar who reacted just in time to protect herself with her shield. The attack was disintegrated instantly.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8iVAWS0O9L
Pouwar: “Divine scorch chains!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhX7xnlW8zy
Flames shaped like chains emerged from Pouwar's mallet, binding Vegeta's arms, stretching them apart. The chains burned through Vegeta's gloves. Each second felt as though they ate away at his very skin. Vegeta yelled in agony, tensing up his body in an attempt to fight through the pain. The chains grew longer, taking a hold of both of his entire arms. Pouwar yanked Vegeta to her, striking him with her mallet. The explosion sent him away once again. Pouwar repeated the process, smacking Vegeta around like a paddle ball. Vegeta fought through the pain and rammed into Pouwar's face with a devastating headbutt. He took advantage of an opening and landed another attack.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgUtgJDa1vs
Vegeta: “Galick gun, fire!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1TQaGmvO9b
The blast sent Pouwar crashing down to a nearby hill. Pouwar regained her composure, standing in shock.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1okswi8My7
Pouwar: “How hasn't he disintegrated? These flames burn to an atomic level! Could a being that strong really exist?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANArbQkwKVm5s
She placed her hand on her rib, noticing a bruise.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAYTD5p8zynm
Pouwar: “His attack didn't disintegrate completely either, perhaps it was too big and powerful to burn out before it reached me. This guy, if I keep messing up, he's going to kill me!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Bjkz5M13
258Please respect copyright.PENANAc5HmtXr2BR
Goku traded blows with Kasai, they went back and forth, blocking, receiving, evading and delivering attacks.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAiB1EIJwsjW
Goku: “Your skills are amazing, there's impeccable precision in your attacks. You weren't kidding when you claimed to be prepared for war.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA1dOmNHrNE3
Kasai: “Your blows are tense yet filled with peace, how dare you fight with a calm mind after what you did to my father!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAZOlWw29fLK
Goku: “I haven't done anything, you've got the wrong guy!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0mljRiUyta
Kasai engaged, rushing Goku down with a flurry of attacks. Kasai took a step back, halting his assault and raised his hand in the air.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAytGM06eFo9
Kasai: “Divine dragon slam!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANALeW56FlLOP
A long wave of fire, reaching 20 feet in length, extended from Kasai's arm. He swung his arm down, slamming the mighty wave onto Goku which sent the warrior crashing into the ground.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKCcCCz9zqe
Kasai: “Royal dragon's breath!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVds0F5aOm2
Three fireballs shot out of Kasai's mouth, they fell at the same rate before merging together into a larger fireball. The fireball landed on Goku, bursting apart upon colliding. Goku struggled to stand.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAq5T3Ea9ekq
"Whis, I'm really trying, but I just can't pull through with it. How do I find peace with my lifestyle? I'm…. I'm not sure what kind of life I want to live."
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMkqfeJaQH5
Goku desperately searched for an answer to his troubles. He reverted back to his base state, taking a moment to breathe and reflect.
258Please respect copyright.PENANASmZe3p5gOa
"I don't have time to figure out my problems right now. In the tournament of power, I achieved ultra instinct by accident. My body acted out of instinct, I need to push myself to that brink again. It's a gamble, but it's my only hope right now!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQv7rdwtFXw
Goku abandoned his thoughts and set his focus back onto his powerful foe. He remained in his base state.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAni3gsKONT4
Goku: “Come at me! Kasai? Right? Hit me with your best!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAJOCGE1QB2O
Kasai: “You beg for death that much? Now that is a wish I shall grant!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANABd0G2dZYla
Kasai darted at Goku, starting his assault with a kick to his jaw. The kick knocked him away. Kasai went on with his attack, hovering right above Goku as he struggled to gain his balance, Kasai delivered an elbow shot to his rib. Goku shot straight to the ground once more, but his fall was interrupted by an intense burning sensation around his left wrist and right ankle. He soon realized he was caught by Kasai's ropes of fire. Their flames felt as though they burned 100 times greater than before. Goku yelled and squirmed in pain. Kasai yanked the injured saiyan towards himself. He lit his own leg on fire and struck his opponent with a devastating kick to the gut. He proceeded to swing Goku around before launching him straight into a hill. Goku collided with the hill, smashing it into pieces as he crashed.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAR3KEA7roRU
"Just a little more! I have to trick my body into fending for itself!"
258Please respect copyright.PENANAp1sw4NP3KF
Goku thought as he tried his best to bear the pain of his injuries. Vegeta was shocked to see his friend suddenly taking a great beating. His distraction would cost him as Pouwar delivered a solid blow to his chest with her mallet.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAker9G2wA1
Pouwar: “Keep ya eyes on the prize, Mr. Prince!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANARXj9dxj6bm
Pouwar teased Vegeta, she hit her mallet against her shield, taunting him to come back for more. Vegeta didn't bother with her disrespectful actions and rushed to aid his longtime rival in battle.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAoPlDmfH70u
Pouwar: “Hey! This is between us! Coward!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA7vY2Sw72PD
Vegeta caught Kasai with a clean hook to his chin, the blow knocked Kasai away, giving Vegeta enough time to attend to his fellow saiyan.
258Please respect copyright.PENANARoOhtFAKMK
Vegeta: “Kakarot! What are you doing? Why are you making this harder for yourself?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWr0m85H0
Goku: “I-It's the only way….Vegeta. I've fought them already, this is nothing like what I faced earlier, even if I give it everything, all it's going to take is for one of theirs or one of our's to fall first for the tide to shift. If you, I or the others go down, it's over, we can't fight multiple of them at once. Not like this at least.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkwFXXanvLx
Vegeta: “What do you mean?”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAI2TLO8UOn4
Goku: “If I can trick my body into doing what I did in the tournament of power, I can perhaps tap into ultra instinct again.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANArxRxLnRd7h
Vegeta: “You know well that you're far from being able to control that. You're risking your life.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANA43ZoHQ4hrm
Goku: “It's the same risk I'm taking if we keep things the way they are… Look out!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAja8wGl5I51
Pouwar interrupted the pair's little talk as she barged in, smacking Vegeta away with her mallet.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrh4EvbjO
Pouwar: “You wanted to split up and now you wanna fight in pairs? Make up your mind!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANADxwdiYADvU
Vegeta didn't take long to gain his balance and proceeded with a counter attack against Pouwar. He shot a blast at Pouwar's mallet to nullify it and caught her with a nasty kick to her chin. His neck was suddenly entangled by a flaming rope. He gasped as the rope tightened his grasp and burned him simultaneously. Kasai had Vegeta in his grasp.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgb4GIUyoJ7
Kasai: “If you desire to make this easier for us, so be it.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAEealTvrOVP
Pouwar joined the battle field once again. She pounded Vegeta as the unfortunate prince was being gagged. Goku rushed to help, jumping back into his super saiyan blue form, but Pouwar was prepared for his interference and caught him with a brutal blow to his head with her mallet. The attack instantly knocked Goku out.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAM45ad4YxMx
Pouwar: “Hey, Kasai! Why don't ya tie up the other one too? Keep him still for me c'mon!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAiKiqc5DOdb
Kasai: “I trust you'll finish them off, Pouwar.”
258Please respect copyright.PENANASh3zylfFIj
Kasai got a grip of Goku's throat as well. Pouwar elevated higher into the air, above the two helpless warriors who found themselves caught in Kasai's grasp. She raised her mallet which shifted into the shape of a burning orb.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAv9xHvfKlNd
Pouwar: “Divine Solar eclipse!”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAcMYfYpKdT
Pouwar launched the sphere towards Goku and Vegeta, the medium sized sphere enlarged into a massive size right before it made contact with the duo. Without warning, the attack was stopped in its tracks and destroyed on the spot.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuOGh94GfiZ
Pouwar: “What the-”
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOTKQK0ZAFb
Pouwar was suddenly knocked away with what seemed to be multiple blows delivered at once. Kasai came face to face with the culprit of the interruption.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAMp2HBSnQe
Goku: “I don't know how long I can keep this up for.. I have to finish this, now!”
